your changes. The Apply button applies any changes that have been made. The OK button applies
any changes that have been made and then closes the window. The Cancel button closes the

Extending Resource Hierarchies
The LifeKeeper Extend Resource Hierarchy option copies an existing hierarchy from one server and
creates a similar hierarchy on another LifeKeeper server. Once a hierarchy is extended to other
servers, cascading failover is available for that resource. The server where the existing hierarchy
currently resides is referred to as the template server. The server where the new extended hierarchy
will be placed is referred to as the target server.
The target server must be capable of supporting the extended hierarchy and it must be able to
communicate with equivalent hierarchies on other remote servers (via active LifeKeeper
communications paths). This means that all recovery kits associated with resources in the existing
hierarchy must already be installed on the target server, as well as every other server where the
hierarchy currently resides.
1. There are five ways to extend a resource hierarchy through the GUI.
l Create a new resource hierarchy. When the dialog tells you that the hierarchy has been
created, click on the Continue button to start extending your new hierarchy via the Pre-
Extend Wizard.
l Right-click on a global or server-specific resource icon to bring up the resource context
menu, then click on Extend Resource Hierarchy to extend the selected resource via the
Pre-Extend Wizard.
l On the global toolbar, click on the Extend Resource Hierarchy button. When the Pre-
Extend Wizard dialog appears, select a Template Server and a Tag to Extend,
clicking on Next after each choice.
l On the resource context toolbar, if displayed, click on the Extend Resource Hierarchy
button to bring up the Pre-Extend Wizard.
